You are expanding the scope of what we're saying. Half Life is not a game engine, GoldenSrc is. Warcraft III doesn't appear to have a public game engine. However, Roblox & Minetest don't really have a bundled game.

    Minetest fulfils the role of platform because of content db, which is a separate thing with it's own name, it wasn't always there, and it's maintained by 1 person. The rest of the developers code the API's which are used for making games. You know what else provides API's for making games? Unity, Unreal and Godot.

    Not really, wc3 and hl are definitely more "gamey" than Minetest, but you can still install Minetest to play and mod Minetest.

    Minetest is the game that comes bundled with Minetest.

    Minetest Game is the game that comes bundled with Minetest, not Minetest. Nobody said WC3 and HL is a game engine.
